It's the little things that matter most right in front of us

It's not about the greatest, the biggest or the planned things in life that matter so much, most of the time it is the ordinary simple things in life that are around us that are enjoyed the most.  
Like Ella - the morning after her birthday instead of finding all her new books and toys discovered the wrapping paper and plastic I had set aside to recycle.  

Mama Swan & her six babies - Niederwerth


Getting a different view of the World - Niederwerth


Peony on our island Niederwerth

Strawberries in Niederwerth

Now I realize how the English word came about Straw - Berries



Swinging with Papa before having to get back into the car near Schloss Sayn


Sometimes it is just seeing things in a different way or season that makes us appreciate what is around us - our surroundings or nature.  God's way of helping us appreciate things.

I'm going through withdrawals! No posts for a long time . . . I need to see pictures of Ella and hear cute stories about her. And hear how you and Georg are doing and what you've been up to. We haven't skyped in forever too! Miss ya lots.
